| Tanzania has one of the lowest rates of secondary school enrolment in the world, withless than7% of suitably aged youth enrolled.
This state of affairs is economically unwise and socially unsustainable. Education should be viewed as the main tool for the eradication of ignorance, poverty and disease.
Althoughin Tanzinia about 85% of children enroll at the primary level, about 20% of these drop out before finishing.
Government spending on education dropped from 12% of the budget in 1981/82 to 4% in 1994/95. It is only external funding that prevented the situation in the education sector becoming worse.
